A mother’s co-op is a good idea.

I’m paying $203 weekly for a soon-to-be 3 y.o. and $60 weekly for a 6 y.o. This is actually more than my monthly mortgage. I’m a single mom and I have a very good job. While I can lambast the cost of daycare, both of my boys are thriving and I really enjoy the social and emotional fulfillment. Having a co-op (with someone speaking a second language) would be my second choice because it is absolutely essential that children socialize and learn boundaries with other people. I’m on the countdown to Aug 2010 for the 3 y.o. to go to PreK.

I’ve never had to pay it, but when my daughter was two my husband and I started an inhome daycare to help people. It is hard to find affordable quality childcare. Ours was, and we were full.

A Mother’s Co-op is a good alternative. Thinking outside the box can solve many problems.
